Hell of a season
I know, the season didnt end up the way we all wanted it to. But we are so much better off now than under Hoke and Rich Rod .
We lost 3 games by a total of 5 points .
Look at the whole season , dont just look at the last part .
Dont complain and cry because we didnt win every game .
I consider this season a success and I hope it is leading to better things .
I hope everyone enjoys the off season for Football and I'll see you all next Fall .
GO BLUE

Also we should not be basing our success on fucking Rich Rod and Hoke
December 31st, 2016 at 12:15 AM ^
we also shouldnt be overreacting like this is the 2005 or 2012 team. It's not like we were getting our doors blown off by bad teams. Hell, we didnt even get our doors blown off by good teams. We're less than 10 plays away from being an undefeated team. No reason to act like they were the Bad News Bears.

getting "our doors blown off" by anybody. ANYBODY.
Close games are painful when we lose, but I will take a close L over a blowout every time.
For reasons that are hopefully obvious.

Love the team but 10-3 with no bit ten title, no bowl victory and losing 3 of the last 4 games...I just can't say it was a hell of a season. It was a fun ride but after a few years we'll probably look back at the 2016 team like the 2006 team - good team but struggled at the end of the season and nothing really to show for it.

Good post.

Is it superior coaching or good experienced talent? Because I am pretty sure that when the NFL draft comes around we are about to have 10+ guys drafted which may be the most of any school.
I mean, OSU and Alabama are more talented than us. Not sure like an FSU, Clemson or Washington is more talented, maybe, it's fairly close. I am certain that Iowa is less talented.

We are exactly where we were last year and next year we are going to be hurting for experienced talent. And I'm sorry, but until we beat o$u I am not going to be the doofus who sits around and continues to say "hurr durrrr this is the year!" We've been saying that for the better part of 12 years. Until I physically see with my own two eyes a win against o$u, I will automatically assume that game is a loss. I have no other choice.

Really rough way to get to 10-3. Probably the best 10-3 Michigan team I'll ever see

Sure, we only lost 3 of the last 4, but they were to 3 of the 4 best teams we played. Clearly nowhere near an elite team. We have a long way to go.

as we basically had OSU in Columbus, obliterated "#5" PSU, beat #10 Wisconsin, and coulda/shoulda beat a pretty good FSU team. Seems like we belong solidly in the 5-10 range
I'd say we are near elite but not there yet. The defense is there, but the offense is not and we seem to lack that killer instinct / swagger / intangibles that the best of the best seem to have to gut out these big games. We still fold.

Unlike Michigan, Penn State beat Ohio State. Penn State went to the Big 10 championship. Penn State won the Big 10 championship. Penn State now in the Rose Bowl. Michigan shit the bed. Loss at Iowa. Lose again to Ohio State. Lose to Florida State.
Penn State went against the big boys and won.
Michigan didn't.
Michigan got worse as the season progressed.
Don't bother negging me. You know it's true.

Penn State kept getting better, beat Ohio State, got to the Big championship, and won that -- all the things Michigan must do to be a leader and best

I think you can add 2004 and 2005 to the misery pile, too. Heck, go back to the 2004 Rose Bowl against USC. The last legitimate big game Michigan won was 2003 OSU.
December 31st, 2016 at 12:50 AM ^
- Penn State got OSU and Iowa at home
- I don't even know what the Big 10 champ argument means. M, OSU, or PSU all probably would've beat Wisconsin
- Penn State went against the big boys and won? So they beat Wisconsin like we did and they played a real close game against OSU like we did? Notable difference being we beat PSU by 39
- I will neg you because all this revisionism is going to look dumb when USC has their way with Penn State
December 31st, 2016 at 12:53 AM ^
what revisionism?
Penn State beat Ohio State.
Penn State went to the Big championship and won.
Penn State had a *better* season. You know it. Don't be dumb.
December 31st, 2016 at 1:13 AM ^
You said "Penn State went against the big boys and won". On the field, Penn State has looked no better than we have. You don't think we would've looked vastly better with PSU's simple schedule?
OSU, Iowa, MSU at home. Only tough road game saw them lose by 39. They won a tiebreaker and got to Indy and beat the same Wisconsin team we did. So yes, they won more trophies than we did because our 2nd loss was to a Big Ten team and theirs wasn't.
You seem to be arguing that Penn State had this marvelous season where they "Beat the big boys" but all they've done that we didn't was win the narrow OSU game plus the fact that we beat them by 39 head-to-head.
December 31st, 2016 at 1:27 AM ^
and win in the Big 10 championship than what you are saying which is, well, we didn't get any of that but same same. It's not the same. Stop pretending.
Out
